Nice Asian fusion! Main dish sizes are not too big. Dim Sums are nice small sharing plates, I made the mistake of confusing them with dumplings, only dims sums with dumplings/gyoza etc written are as such (duh in hindsight). Egg fried rice was good. Staff seemed new but nice.
Stopped in to share some dumplings and have a couple of drinks. Food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly
Always make a booking for weekends as this is a beautiful and amazing restaurant. The food is great. Most recent visit I had: soft shell crab, salt & pepper squid, chicken won ton, and massaman beef curry. Bottles of Asahi , red wine and an After Seven cocktail. Very highly recommended.
Really delicious Asian food with wonderful staff and a nice atmosphere! The prawn toast was absolutely delicious (though I would have liked a bit more of the delicious sauce to dip them in). The satay dumplings were incredible as was the tofu. We also had the duck pancakes which were perfectly cooked and served with a flavoursome hoisin sauce. Can’t wait to come back!
Food was decent if you are craving for Chinese / Asian cuisine in Glasgow badly. We ordered the hot and sour soup, sweet and sour pork, stir fried broccoli and yam rice - would highly recommend getting the yam rice it was really fragrant and I believed they might have use glutinous rice. Service was good too with the FOHs helping to clear the plates on time.
Amazing Asian fusion food with fabulous veggie/vegan offerings. Light, crisp, differentiated flavours with some of the best deep fried tofu I've ever had. Non alcoholic Heineken and tasty £5 mocktails as well. A small place that was packed all night so book. Excellent service with water constantly topped up: most responsible.
Thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. All the dishes were authentic and delicious, as well as thoughtfully presented. My only qualm would be with the service- I had to ask for water and utensils, which weren't provided even as I was being sat down at my table. Staff were insistent on me getting something from the drinks menu, which I found a bit odd.
Another great visit! Back in Glasgow again for work after a 3 year absence. A number of changes on the restaurant scene, not all good, but Opium did not fail to impress again! Lovely food, pleasant ambiance, lovely evening.
Hadn't been in a long time but popped in a quiet Sunday night for some dim sum and a couple of drinks and it was every bit as good as I remembered. It's a fairly small menu but there's plenty to choose from and the food is excellent, the dumplings both boiled (crab meat and chive) and fried (chicken and lemongrass) are some of the best I've had and the salt n chilli tofu was also very good. The staff are lovely and the service was great, definitely won't leave it so long to come back and try more of the menu
